The key ingredients of Kinerase Pro+ Therapy C6 Peptide with Kinetin & Zeatin work together to promote more youthful looking skin.

The result is a healthier looking completion with visibly tighter skin and fewer signs of sun damage.

Studies show a 27% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 30 days.

This powerful treatment contains no moisture so it is important to follow up with Kinerase Pro+ Cream or Kinerase Pro+ Lotion for maximum benefits.

This lightweight, fast-absorbing antioxidant treatment is ideal for sensitive and acneic skin.

Skinceuticals Serum 10 reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, neutralizes free radicals, provides photoprotection and stimulates collagen synthesis.

Once absorbed, Skinceuticals Serum 10 can’t be washed or rubbed off, remaining protective for up to four days - making it an excellent addition to sunscreens such as Skinceuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 and Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30.

Avoid the use of oxidized Vitamin C — refer Effects of Oxidized and/or Denatured Ascorbic Acid Formulae on Skin.

Obagi Professional-C Serums are claimed to be more stable and deeper-penetrating for enhanced antioxidant protection, particularly against UVA, when compared with the deepest penetrating Skinceuticals Serum, Skinceuticals Serum 20 AOX+. Individual results vary.

The prime benefit of its use in cosmetic dermatology is to extend the protective ability of daily-use sunscreens against photoaging beyond their existing capabilities, which are largely inadequate to prevent premature aging.

When applied underneath broadest protection sunscreens, fresh Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Serum (manufactured and used within four months) provides approximately eight times the skin's naturally-endowed level of protection against ultraviolet.

Applied underneath sunscreen, Skinceuticals C E Ferulic prevents the accumulation of approximately 55% more permanent UVA/UVB-induced permanent skin degradation than sunscreen alone.

For the best prognosis possible, daily sunscreen use alone is inadequate to prevent photoaging symptoms, namely:

• Fine lines and wrinkles;
• Irregular texture;
• Decreased firmness (collagen loss) — for further information, see the La Roche-Posay Aging Skin Video;
• Decreased dermal volume and hydration (glycosaminoglycans) — for further information, see the La Roche-Posay Mature Skin Video;
• Broken capillaries;
• Changes in colouring (such as yellowing and hyperpigmentation); and
• Skin cancer.

Skinceuticals C E Ferulic's preventive effect is brought by its supplementation of the skin's two major and synergistic antioxidants — lipid soluble skin-native Vitamin E (1% concentration) and water-soluble skin-native Vitamin C (15% concentration) — which exist at inadequate levels within the skin for optimal photoprotection irrespective of dietary factors, supplemented by the plant-native photoprotective antioxidant ferulic acid.

Skinceuticals C E Ferulic is suitable for normal to dry skin with little to no tendency toward sensitivity.

Individuals with combination or oily skin should use Skinceuticals Phloretin CF instead of Skinceuticals C E Ferulic.

For deeper-penetrating and more firming Vitamin C, and possibly greater UVA protection, use Skinceuticals Serum 20 AOX+, Obagi C Clarifying Serum, Obagi Professional C or IS Clinical Advance+ Serums.

A product containing tocopheryl glucoside such as Glytone Vitaceutical Serum may be used in place of the Vitamin E in Skinceuticals C E Ferulic if you choose to use one of the deeper-penetrating alternatives above.

Note: Products containing Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can be irritating to some individuals. If you have sensitive skin, commence use with a milder Vitamin C alternative such as La Roche-Posay Active-C or Alyria Antioxidant Capsules which contain 10% and 5% ascorbic acid respectively. To acclimatize skin, commence use with one application every other morning and increase use to once daily as tolerated in a manner as per the instructions for optimizing results from Prevage MD. Introduce more concentrated Vitamin C products such as Skinceuticals C E Ferulic (15% Vitamin C) or Skinceuticals Serum 20 AOX+ (20% Vitamin C) over time if possible.

Skinceuticals C E Ferulic may be combined with or used in rotation with other antioxidants.
